three more ethics questions...

Alright, before I post two more ethics question, I just want to get some clarification on three things:
1) Can you delegate supervisory responsibilities to non-members/candidates?
2) Do you need to disclose a gift if less than $100 in value?
3) When accepting additional compensation/gifts from clients based on 1) past performance, and 2) future perfomance, you need to disclose in writing compensation on past performance to accept, and RECEIVE written consent on 2 to accept, correct?
Ethics Questions:

He also sends electronic copies to this brother, and English teacher, to get suggestions concerning style and grammar. With respect to Standard II (A), Material Nonpublic information, the CFO is:
A) Violating the standards by either showing the pre-release version to his intern or sending it to his brother.
B) Not in violation of the Standard.
C) Only in violation by showing the pre-release version to the intern but not to a relative such as his brother.
